Perfect!!:

Lumb & Jones' Veterinary Anesthesia and Analgesia
Simply perfect...i received it in a perfect status, and even one week before the estimated receiving date!!!

The "Clean-up Hitter" of Veterinary Anesthesia books:

This book is the single most thorough anesthesia book available for veterinary medicine. It covers specifics for almost every single species, including exotics and zoo species. It is quite wordy and not a brief reference if you just want a "quick fix" answer, but the explanations are excellent and this is THE resource to reach for with anesthesia questions...

The Definitive Text -The Gold Standard - of Vet Anesthesia:

Too detailed for the lay reader or the clinician looking for quick recommendations.

Excellent review coverage of pain, analgesia, monitoring, and anesthesia in general.

Detailed coverage of agent classes and anesthetic considerations by species.

I have many anesthesia books (both veterinary and human) on my shelf - but none better.
